50 Days, 50 States; Day 3: Arizona

Current Flag:

I think this flag is pretty okay. It’s not terrible but it’s not one of the great ones. According to Wikipedia, “The red and yellow…symbolize Arizona’s picturesque landscape…[and] the center star signifies copper production.” However, the blue doesn’t seem to represent anything. 

My Redesign:

I wanted a nice, simple flag for this one. I kept the original colors, but removed the blue, which didn’t seem to serve a purpose. I replaced the star with a circle, which is easier to see from a distance.
